I recently installed the FRPP intake manifold on my 2005 GT. I previously had an FRPP strut tower brace which I knew wouldn't clear the new manifold. I purchased a Roush STB thinking that if it would clear the Roushcharger it would surely clear the FRPP intake...but much to my disappointment it will not. So, anybody out there know what STB would clear the FRPP intake? I have seen a couple of pics on American Muscle of the Stack Racing STB over the FRPP intake but it looks like it's an awfully tight fit and I can't tell from the pics if they had to shim it up or not.

So, I'm looking for advice on what STB would clear my new intake and fit under a stock hood. Not worried about it rubbing the hood liner as I have replaced my hood liner with one made from Aircraft Firewall material so there should be plenty of clearance there. Just need it to fit over the intake and under the stock hood.

Look forward to your suggestions.

 

Just thought I would throw in a couple of pics for good measure.

 

The Stack Racing STB has a good 1.5-2"" clearance above the stock intake manifold.
